Hi everyone, today’s edition is about FAIR data that is not necessarily related to cultural heritage, but related to cars 🚗. We will have a look into an Open Data dataset of the Dutch government that provides data which hopefully helps me to answer some questions about child safety seats . Statistics shown in this post come from this GitHub repository.

Hi everyone, in today’s slightly more technical edition I will focus on my recent encounters with the Linked Data query language SPARQL. Many of you may know it as a language to retrieve data (possibly from Wikidata). I mainly use it for a project where I recently found some performance issues that could be resolved by either rewriting the query or changing the approach.

Hi everyone, it has been a while since we talked about research infrastructures. Many of them might sound abstract or just like super specialized app stores. But today we have a brief look into something very tangible: heritage objects that are analyzed by instruments or are digitized in other forms. There is lots of diverse data in Heritage Science. ❓ FAIR Buzzword Bingo: what is E-RIHS?

Hi everyone, this edition starts with two announcements before it dives into the topic of software engineering skills for data science. This newsletter started as a weekly newsletter in which I shared topics around FAIR data and updates about my work. Selecting one or more topics each week is fun and helps myself to summarize and understand topics better.
